The beauty of the South American landscape and of Gael Garcia Bernal (Y Tu Mama Tambien, Bad Education) gives The Motorcycle Diaries a charisma that is decidedly apolitical. But this portrait of the young Che Guevara (later to become a militant revolutionary) is half buddy-movie, half social commentary--and while that may seem an unholy hybrid, under the guidance of Brazillian director Walter Salles (Central Station) the movie is quietly passionate. Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna, a lusty and engaging actor) set off from Buenos Aires, hoping to circumnavigate the continent on a leaky motorcycle. They end up travelling more by foot, hitchhiking, and raft, but their experience of the land and the people affects them profoundly. No movie could affect an audience the same way, but The Motorcycle Diaries gives a soulful glimpse of an awakening social conscience, and that's worth experiencing. --Bret Fetzer
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - It was ok.
Controversially, this Movie only shows the part of Ernesto's life that I feel genuinely portrays him as a caring idealistic young man dedicating his life to fighting leprosy, who during this journey through South America is deeply moved by the sheer poverty and oppression he witnessed. It does not show the part of Che's life as the ruthless Revolutionary who personally authorized the execution of over a thousand of his opponents.
So for me to enjoy this movie I had to temporarily suspend ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic movie, but after some research behind it, only then can your eyes be truly opened.
I write this as a 20-year-old American college student who watched this movie in her Spanish class without even knowing who Ernesto "Che" Guevara was. The movie itself was really quite good. I felt very sympathetic towards Ernesto and Alberto; the way they started out just having a good time and being moved so much by the indigenous people they met along the way. I felt very connected to them. Really, it's a touching movie and makes you feel very empathetic towards the world, in general.

Rating:  - Awesome Movie, not so great DVD edition.
The movie is great, lots of reviews about it. But this edition has subtitles embedded on the movie that you CAN'T TURN OFF. Beware of that before buying it ;)
Rating: - Oveglorified Psychopath
Let's see . . . what did Che Guevara do with his life? Oh, yeah, that's right, he killed people. That's all. He just killed a lot of people. That . . . is . . . all.
But . . . because he killed a lot of people in the name of Communism AND he hated America all the liberals/leftists have overglorified and overrated him.
Just like they once did with Josef Stalin.
